When I won the lottery, my wife divorced me to get half of it, but she didn’t count on one thing.
From the start, my parents were skeptical of my marriage. They warned me, saying she had been married multiple times before, always divorcing her husband's whenever they achieved something valuable. Despite their concerns, I went ahead with the marriage. A few months ago, while visiting my parents, I decided to buy a lottery ticket. To my surprise, I won a $3 million prize! Excited, I shared the news with my wife once I returned home. The very next day, she vanished without a word. A few days later, I received divorce papers in the mail. At the divorce hearing, my soon-to-be ex was smug, thinking she was walking away with half of everything, including what she thought was my lottery windfall. When the judge went through our assets, the lottery winnings were never mentioned. Confused, she interrupted and asked about the money. The judge responded, saying no such lottery winnings were listed under my name. She was stunned. Here’s where things get interesting: in my country, only residents are allowed to claim lottery winnings, and since I had purchased the ticket while visiting my parents, I used my mother’s name on it. My lawyer calmly explained that the ticket was signed by my mother, making the money hers, not mine.
